You are probley skitso bipolar mixed. I am not sure because I am not a DR. and don't know you. That seems to be the trendy DX these days. I am sure when you see your Dr. and get medicated the voices will slow down. I have psycotic episodes but I have learned that whenever they happen try to get away from any stressfull sitautions you could be in. Relax put on some very relaxing music. Do NOTHING to stress yourself. When you lay down you will have thoughts race and just remember that when you get medicated those thoughts will slow down. It's a nightmare of an illness I suffer from it everyday but I have learned to control it to some extint. I still can't do very will in public.
